I partially agree.  People should never be bored by manually editing 
snippets in input/new to write them in input/lsr, as this can be handled 
automatically by makelsr, but there are some formatting requirements for 
stuff in input/new that are not necessary for regression tests, e.g. 
tagging.
I fixed makelsr.py so it may be invoked without any directory unpacked 
from LSR tarball to inspect; in this case, it doesn't delete anything in 
input/lsr, it only updates snippets from what it finds in input/new, 
including updating translated texidocs.
I'd be glad to take 5 minutes to explain this in the CG, but it doesn't 
even explain when you whould write a snippet in input/new, so it'll take 
more time than I can afford this week.

I don't have "teacher training" at all, at least not before next 
Spetember, but I'm absorbed by various activities that have higher 
priority than Lily: an article submission deadline on Wednesday, a 
commented bibliography for my ongoing Master thesis, playing the oboe 
(including making reeds) in various amateur orchestras, replacing my 
choir director at next rehearsal, not including little involvment to 
defend research and education in France, which are serisously threatened.

Cheers,
